Bailey Tracker Monitor & Caravan Alarm (2012 Model Year, Unicorn)
Sourced from Bailey's 2012 model year owner's manual for the Unicorn range. If your caravan is a different age or range, some details — such as the exact control panel brand or chassis-component generation actually fitted — may not match. Always cross-check against the handbook that came with your specific caravan.
Master Troubleshooting & Diagnostics Matrix
| Error Code / Indicator | Symptom / Meaning | Step-by-Step DIY Fix | Suggested Actions |
|---|---|---|---|
N/A | Alarm siren sounds when pushing the caravan around the car park, but the alarm has not gone off (or tracker does not alert). Possible Cause: The tracker monitor requires movement over a longer period (or specific acceleration of the caravan) before sending an alert, preventing false alerts. | Ensure the system is properly armed and allowed to complete its arming sequence (45 seconds for alarm, further 5-minute delay for the tracker monitor). Note that triggering the alarm siren alone does not generate a tracker alert; the caravan must experience movement/acceleration over the required period. | DIY Safe |
N/A | Set the alarm, went for a drive, siren went off, but Tracker did not telephone. Possible Cause: Started driving before the 5-minute tracking arming time had expired. | Ensure you wait for the full 5-minute arming delay to pass after arming the system before moving or driving the caravan. | DIY Safe |
N/A | Alarm keeps sounding and Tracker does not telephone. Possible Cause: The alarm sounding does not automatically trigger the Tracker. The Tracker requires acceleration of the caravan to trigger. | Understand that the alarm system and the stolen vehicle recovery system operate as two separate systems within one. Check the caravan for actual movement or towing events required to trigger the tracker. | DIY Safe |
N/A | Tracker battery goes flat or system stops working due to a disconnected leisure battery. Possible Cause: Leisure battery has been disconnected, removed, or left flat, depleting the internal Tracker battery (which lasts approximately two weeks without a leisure battery). | Keep the leisure battery connected and fully charged. If the leisure battery has been disconnected or flat, fit a charged leisure battery at the first opportunity and connect the caravan to a mains hook-up for 24 hours to recharge the Tracker battery. | DIY Safe |
